Veronica van Heyningen

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

• Gene
• Mutation
• Genetics

Veronica van Heyningen focuses on Genetics, PAX6, Gene, Molecular biology and Aniridia. Her works in Mutation, Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia, Breakpoint and Homeobox are all subjects of inquiry into Genetics. Her research on Homeobox also deals with topics like

• Eye morphogenesis which is related to area like Coding region, genomic DNA and Candidate gene,
• Cell fate determination and related Anatomy, Cellular differentiation and Cell biology.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Positional cloning, Phenotype, Eye development, Locus and Eye Proteins. The Molecular biology study combines topics in areas such as Cancer research, Complementary DNA, Wilms' tumor, Exon and Antibody. Her Aniridia study deals with Transgene intersecting with Yeast artificial chromosome and Hypersensitive site.

Her most cited work include:

• Mouse Small eye results from mutations in a paired-like homeobox-containing gene. (1204 citations)
• Pax6 Controls Progenitor Cell Identity and Neuronal Fate in Response to Graded Shh Signaling (884 citations)
• Long-Range Control of Gene Expression: Emerging Mechanisms and Disruption in Disease (770 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Veronica van Heyningen spends much of her time researching Genetics, Gene, Molecular biology, PAX6 and Aniridia. Her study involves Locus, Gene mapping, Chromosome, Phenotype and Mutation, a branch of Genetics. Her Gene mapping study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Genetic marker and Genetic linkage.

Her work is dedicated to discovering how Molecular biology, Monoclonal antibody are connected with Antigen and Epitope and other disciplines. Veronica van Heyningen usually deals with PAX6 and limits it to topics linked to Cell biology and Cellular differentiation. As a part of the same scientific family, Veronica van Heyningen mostly works in the field of Aniridia, focusing on Wilms' tumor and, on occasion, Cancer research.

She most often published in these fields:

• Genetics (54.87%)
• Gene (32.13%)
• Molecular biology (27.44%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2005-2020)?

• Genetics (54.87%)
• PAX6 (21.30%)
• Gene (32.13%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her primary areas of investigation include Genetics, PAX6, Gene, Aniridia and Missense mutation. Her work is connected to Locus, Phenotype, Enhancer, Zebrafish and Proband, as a part of Genetics. In her work, Yeast artificial chromosome and Cre recombinase is strongly intertwined with Exon, which is a subfield of PAX6.

Her study looks at the relationship between Aniridia and topics such as Pathology, which overlap with Epilepsy. Her research in Missense mutation intersects with topics in Hypoplasia, Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia and Microcephaly. Her Mutation research includes themes of Molecular biology and Gillespie syndrome.

Between 2005 and 2020, her most popular works were:

• The Level of the Transcription Factor Pax6 Is Essential for Controlling the Balance between Neural Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Neurogenesis (266 citations)
• Mutations in SOX2 cause anophthalmia–esophageal–genital (AEG) syndrome (178 citations)
• Long-range gene regulation links genomic type 2 diabetes and obesity risk regions to HHEX, SOX4, and IRX3 (154 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

• Gene
• Mutation
• DNA

Her primary scientific interests are in Genetics, PAX6, Anophthalmia, Missense mutation and Microphthalmia. Her Gene, Zebrafish, Mutation, Proband and Phenotype investigations are all subjects of Genetics research. Her study in PAX6 is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Fluorescence in situ hybridization, Aniridia and Karyotype, Chromosome abnormality.

Her studies in Anophthalmia integrate themes in fields like Evolutionary biology, Haploinsufficiency, Eye Proteins and Electroretinography. The various areas that Veronica van Heyningen examines in her Microphthalmia study include Gene interaction, Eye development, Nonsense mutation, Mutation testing and Neural plate. Her research investigates the connection with Exome and areas like Microcephaly which intersect with concerns in Molecular biology.
